The Role

We’re looking for a Strategic Account Executive to win the largest accounts in the markets Canals serves.

You’ll pursue the top companies in each vertical: organizations with complex buying processes, long sales cycles, and the potential for seven-figure deals. You’ll build relationships with senior executives, develop a clear strategy for each account, and bring complex opportunities from first conversation through close.

What You’ll Do
  • Identify and pursue high-value accounts across the verticals Canals serves

  • Build account plans that map stakeholders, priorities, buying processes, and paths to a deal

  • Develop relationships with senior executives and earn credibility as a partner in solving consequential business problems

  • Lead discovery and connect Canals’ capabilities to each customer’s operations and goals

  • Navigate complex evaluations involving multiple teams and decision makers

  • Build business cases, manage negotiations, and close seven-figure deals

  • Maintain a disciplined pipeline and communicate deal progress and risks clearly

  • Collaborate with internal teams to develop solutions and move opportunities forward

What You’ll Bring
  • A demonstrated history of closing seven-figure B2B deals

  • The ability to explain your biggest wins in detail: what you sold, who was involved, what obstacles you faced, who you competed against, and how you got the deal done

  • Experience selling into large, complex organizations with long sales cycles and multiple stakeholders

  • Strong executive presence and the ability to engage senior decision makers as a credible peer

  • Excellent discovery, account strategy, negotiation, and closing skills

  • Sound judgment about where to invest time and how to move a complex deal forward

  • Ownership of your pipeline, forecast, and results
